    Of course we would. But also, this joke of a person would’ve never won as a Democrat. He chose Republicans because he knew he’d have a better shot with them.

          Why not? If you really hate some one and don’t want to see someone become president to scam the whole country, I would rather vote for the other party. Even if I don’t agree with everything that party stands for. Trump and the Republicans right now stand for fraude, war, racism, violence and hate. It makes your country look fucking stupid. Personally I would do anything to avoid that.

          That’s just something I don’t get about Americans. A lot of you are so fanatical that you would rather die than vote for the other party even if that means ruining your country to the ground.

    This last election I voted Dem. Not because I thought she was worth a shit, but she was imo the better of the two options. Political party doesn’t mean shit to me.

      For you. I see Dems constantly glazing Obama. Who, while not as bad as trump, was pretty fucking bad in a “it’s like Bush never left” kind of way. Affiliation is all that matters to a stunning number of people.

          I’m pointing out blind partisanism isn’t exclusive to one party. Pretending that it is exclusive to one party is an example of blind partisanism.

            Uh ya no. What you’re doing is the most typical argument tactic maga/repubs employ. Oh what about that guy that one time that isn’t in power anymore more, he did a thing so its fine for us to do this now.

              It’s the same exact “it’s ok when my guy does it” attitude that led to trump. This isn’t a Republican problem. It’s an American problem. We’re not going to solve it by only focusing on half of the people doing it.

                But yet here you are, what about Obama glazing. He’s not president. He’s not running again. Sure some people still glaze, most people don’t give or shit or know alot of what he did. We legit just turned the entire world against the US and swept a pedo ring under the rug. So wattaboutism the glazing.

                  So we should ignore half the people putting party above policy and pretend that this is only a Republican phenomenon. Surely that’s the way to fix it. Ok blue maga.

        “it’s like Bush never left”

        What’s that based on?

        And saying he’s “not as bad as Trump” is a ludicrous understatement.

          What’s that based on?

          He ordered almost 600 drone strikes in 7 different countries, hitting weddings schools and hospitals and killing scores of civilians. He renewed the patriot act, escalated the domestic spying program, maintained the CIA black site torture program, and persecuted the whistleblowers that told us about them. That’s what “hope and change” looks like apparently. And the Dems went completely silent. “No blood for oil” turned into “awww he’s charasmatic and plays basketball <3”

    Although I disagree with most of his politics, that’s not the reason I dislike him.

    I would never support a pedophile even if they were able to achieve all my political ideals, to me that’s just a non-starter and I wish more people felt the same way. At this point the evidence and proven court cases are undeniable.

      Political brain rot is believing people dislike Trump solely because he’s a Republican.

      That’s the fundamental problem with American politics. Too many people treat it like team sports: I have to defend my side no matter what.

      No, you don’t.

      You don’t owe a political party your loyalty. Parties are tools, not identities. If your own side does something wrong, or even something you consider objectively immoral, you should be willing to say so. Blind partisanship isn’t a virtue; it’s the abandonment of independent judgment.

      Republicans aren’t the root of every problem we’re facing today, but I’d bet a lot of money that they’re probably responsible for the majority of them.
